Chris Beard Turned It Down, Tim Tadlock Did Not
The Texas Tech fanbase is still healing after the departure of Chris Beard from the Basketball program on April 1st.
The Red Raiders Athletic Director had offered former Texas Tech basketball head coach Chris Beard a rolling contract that would keep him as one of the highest-paid coaches in college basketball. That contract offer was turned down last fall, long before the Texas Longhorns came calling.
Now, with rumors swirling that Texas A&M is going to call Tim Tadlock after parting ways with their baseball coach, a respected college baseball writer is reporting that Kirby Hocutt and the athletics department are offering Tim Tadlock whatever he wants to stay in Lubbock.
